Importers Keep Paying China Nail Duties

U.S. Nail Makers and Jobs Protected
Commerce and the International Trade Commission found that removing the antidumping duties would likely cause continued dumping and harm to a U.S. industry. The continuation of the order aims to protect U.S. nail manufacturers and their jobs by keeping those duties in place.
